A fifth victim came forward Monday after a string of sexual assaults at York University last week.

The woman told police on Monday she was assaulted, but not sexually assaulted, last Friday.

The case is the fifth in a string of attacks and sexual assaults in and around York University campus last week. Three women told police they were sexually assaulted, two of them on campus and one nearby.

The other two victims say they were assaulted and harassed, one on campus and another just off university property.

Oshane Leach, 20, of Toronto, was arrested Monday and is charged with three counts of sexual assault, two counts of criminal harassment and two counts of assault.
